Having worked in large orgs its amazing how much knowlegde there is stored in all the shared drives of various dept's which if organised/shared properly could help organisations to do things better. - David J(A happy and content fella managing IT @ www.joots.co.uk) Wikis are useful, but only as good as the people who add to them, and as long as people abide by the ‘rules’.

That said I think for many applications and business motives this process is too slow. In contrast it might be a better fit for an application exposed in your mentioned Newsweek article, which states: The United Nations, notorious for endless deliberations, is trying a technological quick fix. Here one has a process situation which is already very slow and “endless”, and I suspect leaves too many feeling less than participatory or heard. Maybe to “sell” a better consensus polling feature to such “already too bureaucratic” entities to generate more aboutus revenue?
